Your questions, answered
Handyman services FAQs
Clear answers to help you decide what to request and what to confirm before booking.
What handyman jobs can I request?
You can enquire about furniture assembly, shelves, small fittings, minor repairs and move-in or move-out task lists. Describe each task clearly. Switch On will assess suitability and confirm the work it can undertake before the quote is agreed.
Can you do electrical, gas or structural work?
These are not part of a general handyman booking. Identify any specialist element in your request so the team can explain the limits of the service. Do not book a general task on the assumption that specialist work is included.
Are materials and fixings included?
Only where agreed. Explain what you already have, including the item model and any supplied instructions or fixings. The quote should make clear who will source the materials and how purchases are handled.
Can I book several small jobs together?
Yes. List the tasks separately and order them by priority. The team will review suitability, time, materials and access. Adding a new task during the visit may require a revised scope or another appointment.
Will photographs help with a quote?
Yes, photographs and measurements can help explain the task, surfaces and existing condition. Describe the work in the request and ask the team how best to share any pictures; the current form does not upload photographs.
Can you assemble furniture after a home move?
Request the removals and assembly tasks together, naming the items and any dismantling needed at the first address. The team will review the sequence, tools, staffing and timings before confirming the plan.
How is a handyman quote calculated?
The quote depends on the tasks, complexity, materials, surfaces and access. The team may need more information or an assessment. Ask for the agreed tasks and any materials arrangements to be recorded before the visit is booked.
